Intermolecular Forces Vocab

Hydrogen bonding is a special case of __________.

• london dispersion

• ion-dipole

• dipole-dipole

___________ a molecule containing two “poles,” or regions of opposite charge.

• Dipole

• Polarity

• Nonpolar

• North Pole

An intermolecular force of attraction

between two polar molecules.

• Dipole-dipole

• London Dispersion Forces

• Hydrogen Bonding

• Ionic

An intermolecular force of attraction that occurs when a

polar molecule induces polarity in a nonpolar molecule.

• Dipole-induced dipole force

• Dipole-dipole

• London dispersion forces

• Hydrogen bonding

___________ a measure of how strongly one atom attracts a shared pair of

electrons. Values range from 0.7 to 4.0, and are unitless.

• Electronegativity

• Intermolecular froces

• Intramolecular forces

• Polarity

_____________ a force of attraction between molecules.

• Intermolecular Force

• Intramolecular Force

• Polarity

• Electronegativity

__________ a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. These are the most polar type of bond since valence electrons are

completely transferred from one atom to another. These bonds occur if the electronegativity difference is greater than/equal to 1.67.

• Ionic

• Polar Covalent

• Nonpolar Covalent

• Metallic

NGSS.HS-PS1-3

________________ an intermolecular force of attraction that occurs when a

temporary dipole of one atom induces polarity in a neighboring atom. They form due to random fluctuations in the density of the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. The weakest type of intermolecular force.

• London Dispersion Forces

• Hydrogen Bonding

• Dipole-Dipole

• Ionic

____________ a stable particle composed of two or more atoms.

• Molecule

• Element

• Pure substance

• Atom

NGSS.HS-LS1-6

_____________ – a bond characterized by equal sharing of electrons. The atoms in a bond have the same electronegativity (or a difference less than

or equal to 0.4).

• Nonpolar Covalent

• Polar Covalent

• Ionic

• Metallic
